How to Farm Sundered Doctrine for Loot

Sundered Doctrine is the newest dungeon in Destiny 2 and is not part of the Featured dungeon rotation. This means you can only farm its Exotic weapon, Finality’s Auger, once per character each week. However, you can farm its Legendary weapons and armor as much as you want.

How to farm the Sundered Doctrine dungeon:

1. Play through the dungeon on your first character until you reach the encounter you want to farm.
2. Start the encounter and wipe (let your team die without finishing it).
3. Switch to another character that hasn’t run the dungeon yet and rejoin your Fireteam.
4. Wipe again to save the checkpoint on your second character.

To continue farming:

• Launch the SD dungeon on your second character, which now holds the checkpoint.
• Switch back to your first character, rejoin, and complete the encounter.
• Repeat the process as many times as needed for unlimited loot.

This method lets you farm weapons and armor without limits, but remember that Finality’s Auger Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle is only available once per week per character. Below we’ll briefly overview the Sundered Doctrine dungeon encounters.

Encounter 1: Riddle

The first encounter, Riddle, revolves around aligning darkness beams with the correct symbol.

Mechanic:

• Three darkness lenses in the center direct beams toward plates in four different rooms.
• A Truthspeaker Major Grim spawns—defeat it to reveal the correct symbol.
• Subjugators drop lenses when defeated—use these to extend the beam path.
• If beams hit the wrong plate, a Tormentor spawns.
• Complete the sequence three times, increasing the number of beams in each phase.

To optimize the puzzle-solving process, players should rotate lenses before placing them, as activated lenses will break after three rotations. Clearing enemies quickly is crucial, as the Subjugators can overwhelm teams if left unchecked.

Encounter 2: Zoetic Lockset (Shrieker Boss Fight)

The second encounter features Zoetic Lockset, a construct-like boss composed of multiple Darkness Shriekers that fire deadly Resonance Seekers at players. The main mechanic involves four rotating wheels, each displaying a glowing symbol. Players must defeat Hive Wizards to collect Resonance Splinters, which are then used to rotate the symbols to the correct position.

Each Shrieker gazes at a wheel, activating effects based on the symbol displayed:

• Stop – Neutral effect, no enemies spawn.
• Hive – Summons Ogres, making survival harder.
• Brain – Spawns Knights and Wizards to attack the team.
• Kill – Triggers the damage phase, allowing players to attack the Shriekers.

The goal is to lock three wheels on Stop and one on Kill before the Shriekers finalize their choices. The damage phase lasts longer if Kill is locked earlier. Players should focus on rotating Hive symbols away immediately to prevent Ogres from spawning. Linear Fusion Rifles (Sleeper Simulant), Snipers, and Machine Guns are strong choices for DPS.

Encounter 3: Kerrev, The Erased (Final Boss)

The final encounter against Kerrev, The Erased requires players to identify false riddles and manipulate darkness beams accordingly.

• The boss stands in the middle of the room, displaying two symbol-based riddles—one is true, and one is false. Players must determine which is the Lie and direct beams onto those symbols while avoiding the Truths.
• Lenses in the left, center, and right rooms must be positioned correctly to shine beams onto the Lie symbols. Some lenses or buttons may be Strand-locked, requiring players to defeat Unwritten Attendants to gain a buff that unlocks them.
• Once the symbols are correctly aligned, activating the central panel initiates a burn phase, where players must take cover from the Obelisk’s energy surge before entering the damage phase.

Kerrev moves frequently and uses Strand Suspend attacks, making mobility and healing essential. Divinity can help with precision damage, while Linear Fusion Rifles, Grenade Launchers with Bait and Switch, and Machine Guns are highly effective.

Sundered Doctrine Tips & Loadout Recommendations

• Finality’s Auger Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle can only be obtained once per week per character, while Legendary weapons and armor can be farmed infinitely.
• Subclass Recommendations:
  • Hunters – Celestial Nighthawk (Solar) or Gathering Storm (Arc) for strong burst damage.
  • Titans – Thundercrash (Arc) or Prismatic with Twilight Arsenal for high damage output.
  • Warlocks – Well of Radiance for team support, or Song of Flame for self-sustain and extra damage.
• Recommended Weapons:
  • The Queenbreaker – Great for Blinding enemies to control crowds.
  • Grand Overture / Thunderlord – Effective for add-clear.
  • Grenade Launchers with Bait and Switch – Reliable boss damage option.

Mastering these mechanics and optimizing your loadout will make clearing and farming Sundered Doctrine much easier.

Sundered Doctrine Weapons

The Sundered Doctrine dungeon introduces five new weapons—four Legendary and one Exotic. None of them are craftable, but they can be enhanced to improve their stats (you can farm God Rolls).

The Exotic, Finality’s Auger, is a Solar Linear Fusion Rifle that fires a turret, making it stand out.

The Legendary weapons include a Strand Hand Cannon, Arc Scout Rifle, Void Shotgun, and Strand Trace Rifle, each with strong perk options for PvE and PvP.

Read more about all these weapons below.

Finality’s Auger Exotic

Weapon Name	Finality’s Auger
Weapon Type	Linear Fusion Rifle
Tier Rank	A-Tier for PvE, B-Tier for PvP
Slot	Solar
Ammo	Heavy
Archetype	Exotic
Catalyst	The catalyst adds Bait and Switch, which boosts Finality’s Auger’s damage when you deal damage with all equipped weapons within a short time.
Perks	Ruinscribe’s Forge (fires a projectile that deploys a Ruinscribe Turret, which auto-fires at enemies), Ruinscribe’s Beacon (turret prioritizes painted targets and fires stronger shots), Arrowhead Brake (improves recoil and handling), Particle Repeater (stability boost), Short-Action Stock (increased handling)
Exotic Trait	Ruinscribe’s Forge – This weapon can fire a special projectile that deploys a turret, which automatically attacks enemies. Players can also paint targets, making the turret prioritize them with stronger shots.
Is this weapon worth farming?	Yes. The ability to deploy an auto-firing turret makes Finality’s Auger unique. It is excellent for PvE crowd control and sustained DPS. However, in PvP, it’s less effective due to its charge time and turret limitations. Its Exotic Catalyst (Bait and Switch) further boosts damage when used properly.
How to Get it?	Drops from the final boss of the Sundered Doctrine dungeon. Like most dungeon exotics, it’s an RNG drop, but Contest Mode clears (first 48 hours) guarantee a drop.

Unloved Strand Hand Cannon

Weapon Name:	Unloved
Weapon Type:	Hand Cannon
Tier Rank:	PvE: A-Tier,  PvP: B-Tier
Slot:	Strand
Ammo:	Primary
Archetype:	Heavy Burst
Rarity:	Legendary
Is this weapon worth farming?	Yes, for PvE players. Unloved is the first Heavy Burst Hand Cannon with Strand damage, making it unique. It has strong perk options like Dragonfly, Hatchling, and Frenzy for PvE, offering great add clear potential. However, its PvP performance is underwhelming due to lack of stability and flinch resistance. Lucky Pants users might prefer other Hand Cannons.
How to Get it?	Drops from the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon. The weapon is not craftable but can be enhanced.
PvE God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore Magazine: Accurized Rounds Trait 1: Dragonfly or Hatchling (Dragonfly for explosions, Hatchling for Strand synergy) Trait 2: Frenzy (Boosts reload speed and damage when in combat) Masterwork: Range (Enhances effective range for better consistency)
PvP God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore Magazine: Accurized Rounds Trait 1: Rapid Hit (Improves stability and reload speed with precision hits) Trait 2: Kill Clip (Boosts damage after a kill, reducing time-to-kill) Masterwork: Range (Extends engagement distance)

Unworthy Arc Scout Rifle

Weapon Name:	Unworthy
Weapon Type:	Scout Rifle
Tier Rank:	PvP: B-Tier,  PvE: A-Tier
Slot:	Arc
Ammo:	Primary
Archetype:	Rapid-Fire Frame (260 RPM)
Rarity:	Legendary
Is this weapon worth farming?	Yes, for PvE players. Unworthy is a solid Arc Scout Rifle with Firefly in the first column, allowing Solar explosions on precision kills. This makes it excellent for add-clear when paired with Rolling Storm, which generates Arc energy for abilities. While effective in PvE, PvP performance is mediocre, as other Scouts offer better dueling perks and kill potential.
How to Get it?	Drops from the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon on Rhulk’s ship. The weapon is not craftable but can be enhanced.
PvE God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore (Boosts stability and range for better accuracy) Magazine: Accurized Rounds (Extends effective range) Trait 1: Firefly (Creates Solar explosions on precision kills, great for clearing groups) Trait 2: Rolling Storm (Generates Arc ability energy, increasing synergy with Arc builds) Masterwork: Range (Maximizes effective distance)
PvP God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore (Balanced increase to stability and range) Magazine: Accurized Rounds (Gives extra range for dueling) Trait 1: Keep Away (Boosts range and accuracy when no enemies are nearby, ideal for long-range engagements) Trait 2: Zen Moment (Reduces flinch and increases stability when landing hits, making shots more consistent) Masterwork: Range (Enhances engagement distance)

Unvoiced Void Shotgun

Weapon Name:	Unvoiced
Weapon Type:	Shotgun (Slug)
Tier Rank:	PvP: B-Tier,  PvE: A-Tier
Slot:	Void
Ammo:	Special
Archetype:	Slug Shotgun
Rarity:	Legendary
Is this weapon worth farming?	Yes, for PvE players. Unvoiced is the first slug shotgun to roll with Bait and Switch, a top-tier damage perk for boss DPS. When paired with Envious Arsenal, it avoids reload downtime, making it ideal for high-end content. It also has Destabilizing Rounds and Demoralize for Void synergy, but its PvP performance is average due to slug shotguns’ weaker meta standing.
How to Get it?	Drops from the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon. The weapon is not craftable.
PvE God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore (Boosts range and stability for precise shots) Magazine: Assault Mag (Increases fire rate, improving DPS) Trait 1: Envious Arsenal (Reloads the weapon automatically after weapon swaps, keeping uptime high) Trait 2: Bait and Switch (Massive damage boost after using all three weapons, excellent for boss phases) Masterwork: Range (Maximizes effective damage output)
PvP God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore (Improves range and stability for accuracy) Magazine: Accurized Rounds (Extends range for better dueling potential) Trait 1: Destabilizing Rounds (Creates explosions on final blows, good for aggressive play) Trait 2: Demoralize (Reduces enemy damage output, helping in close-range fights) Masterwork: Range (Enhances engagement distance)

Unsworn Strand Trace Rifle

Weapon Name:	Unsworn
Weapon Type:	Trace Rifle
Tier Rank:	PvP: C-Tier,  PvE: A-Tier
Slot:	Strand
Ammo:	Special
Archetype:	Rapid-Fire Frame
Rarity:	Legendary
Is this weapon worth farming?	Yes, but mostly for PvE. Unsworn is all about support, not raw damage. It has great perks like Shoot to Loot for ammo sustain and Detonator Beam for explosions, making it solid for high-end PvE. But in PvP, it’s outclassed by almost every other Special weapon. If you’re looking for a top-tier DPS weapon, this isn’t it.
How to Get it?	Drops from the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon inside Rhulk’s derelict ship. It’s not craftable, but you can enhance it.
PvE God Roll:	Barrel: Smallbore (Gives a balance of range and stability) Magazine: Projection Fuse (Boosts range, keeping your beam steady at longer distances) Trait 1: Shoot to Loot (Lets you pick up ammo by shooting bricks—great for ammo sustain in tough content) Trait 2: Detonator Beam (Makes enemies explode when hit with sustained fire, helping with add clear) Masterwork: Range (Keeps your beam effective at a longer distance)
PvP God Roll:	Do Not Use. Legendary Trace Rifles struggle in PvP due to low flinch resistance, poor TTK, and limited lethality compared to other Special weapons. If you must use it, go for Rangefinder and Under Pressure to maximize range and accuracy.

Sundered Doctrine Armor Sets

Like all dungeons in Destiny 2, Sundered Doctrine has a unique armor set for each class, called the Flain Armor set.

Below, you can see how it looks for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans.
